Jade Thirlwall and Hans Zimmer team up for Blue Planet III song
Singer Jade Thirlwall says working on the official song for BBC documentary Blue Planet III is "one of the best things" she's ever done.
Thirlwall, who debuted the track on BBC Radio 1's Breakfast Show, told host Greg James working on it was a "very special" experience.
During her breakfast show appearance, Thirlwall said Blue Planet, which focuses on the life of our seas and oceans, was her favourite TV show.
Thirlwall said the track, which mixes her striking vocals with Hans Zimmer's signature orchestral builds, was written to be "celebratory".
"The song is about the oceans and how special they are, hope, fighting the good fight to make the world a better place," she said.
